Hey there Hometalk Friends! It's that time of year when I refresh my outdoor
space. When you can't find that specific something pictured in your mind, do you DIY? That happens to me a lot and today I'm sharing my latest endeavor, a whimsical stenciled pillow...

Between my rosemary bushes and blue sage, my yard is full of pollinators which is good for the garden. However, this year I've been seeing bee home decor everywhere--have you noticed it too? I wanted some new outdoor pillows and since I’m not a free hand paint kind of girl, I decided to stencil. I found just what l was looking for at Hobby Lobby. If you prefer to shop online, click here!
Next, I found not one, but two of these outdoor striped pillows at Ross for $7 each. Perfect! Also FYI, Walmart has some cute $5 outdoor pillows. The only difference is theirs are square and I really wanted the lumbar shape.
Now I was ready to stencil! Conveniently, the pillow had a zipper case, so I unzipped it and placed wax paper inside to keep the paint from soaking through the fabric to the pillow.
Next, I used masking tape to secure the stencil and painted most of the sections with yellow craft paint. I used DecoArt Patio Paint: click here!
I love the honeycomb and it will be fun for a future project, but for these
Isn't it bee-u-tiful? ;)
